• The renovation of the YPAS building and auditorium is nearing completion, however, there were not enough funds provided by JCPS to provide an "orchestra shell" inside the auditorium. The Orchestra Shell is essential to properly reflect sound for performances on stage. The Producers, the parent organization for YPAS, have kicked off a crowd fund-raising campaign by donating $55,000 of the $200,000+ cost needed for the new orchestra shell. Please visit www.YouCaring.com and make any donation amount possible. Manual/YPAS students and families, we truly need your support and donations to make this new orchestra shell a reality to benefit our very talented students!
• Additionally, you still have the opportunity to "Name Your Seat" in the YPAS auditorium. Honor a YPAS/Manual student, pay tribute to a special teacher, memorialize a friend or leave a message of encouragement. A special "Unveiling Reception" will be held on Wednesday, May 10th at 7:00pm for you to see and sit in your seat! FREE event, courtesy of The Producers!
